If a married couple & a single person share a two bdrm Apt, should they split the rent 50/50 or 3-ways?

I feel the rent should be split 50/50, and utilities 3 ways. Its not fair for the couple to have half the space, but pay as much. Same with the utilities, it'd be unfair to split 50/50, because the couple would use just as much.If a married couple %26amp; a single person share a two bdrm Apt, should they split the rent 50/50 or 3-ways?
3 ways. Otherwise it wouldn't be far to the single person. I was single and my roommate's fiancee moved in with us and after a while it became obvious that unless we split everything 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 someone's feelings were going to get hurt. Each person is using 1/3 of the water and toliet paper, eating 1/3 the food, taking up 1/3 of the space. It's only fair.If a married couple %26amp; a single person share a two bdrm Apt, should they split the rent 50/50 or 3-ways?
Your renting the house as a whole. It is split 3 ways. There is a lot more that plays into it... such as does the couple have 1 room and their own bath. Does the other person have their own bathroom. With that all three still have to share the whole house so it would not be 50/50 because of that reason alone... but it would not be 33.33 either if they all have their own bathroom and the couple only has 1 room I would average off of 50% and 33% if no sharing of bathrooms and the couple have 1 room. That part is 50/50 the whole house such as parking, fridg pace, tv time, cleaning, and plan ol sharing a home... less stree of 2 than 3... so I would do 42%.
i would ask the single person if their fine with splitting the rent 50/50, if he or she isn't fine with it then agree on 50/50. never hurts to ask
I say 3 way is the most fair. Because you also should take into consideration utilities and those costs too. It's not all the square footage.
three-ways. it's not fair for the single person to pay as much as what two people are using.
